This field plug-in supports the creation of a table for data input in SurveyCTO forms. While this has been a SurveyCTO limitation so far, it is possible to address this request through the creation of a Repeat Group with table appearance, which displays the data collected in a table. This field plug-in, however, allows you to create the real grid appearance and edit data directly from the table.

This plug-in is currently under beta. If you you find a problem with the field plug-in, please email [email protected].

1. Define number of rows and columns in the table.
2. Define the labels for the rows and columns in the table.
3. Use the numbers appearance for numeric input.
4. Use dynamic references in the headings for rows and columns.

This field plug-in requires the text field type. The data is stored in a pipe (|) separated list of items such as:

1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|0|

For example, if you have the following table:

The data will be stored as:

A1|B1|A2|B2|

You can use any of the functions in the Working with lists of items section of our documentation on Using expressions in your forms: a reference for all operators and functions. Specifically, the item-at() function will allow you to retrieve items from the saved value.

Note: Because the responses are separates by a pipe (|) make sure there are no pipes (|) in any of the actual text in the responses.

The following parameters are required for this field plug-in:

Note: Because the headings are separates by a pipe (|) make sure there are no pipes (|) in any of the text in the headers.
